Updates on that line-up will appear regularly on the news pages of Drowned in Sound, including details of our stage(s).

Tickets for the festival are stood, reasonably for the moment, at ‘Early Bird’ prices of £35 for ‘punter tickets’ and £99 for ‘delegate tickets’; both give you access to all the gigs but the more expensive also grants you permission to be present at the Great Escape convention.

Huh?

“A varied seminar and talk programme for industry professionals. A delegate pass also includes access to speed networking sessions, insightful interviews, celebrity talks, the delegates bar and priority access to all gigs.”
